The goalie to get is Bryzgalov. Half-assed attempts at a short term fix could seriously back fire. Want to add a solid veteran back-up? Fine. Giguere and Bryz are old teammates, and might have a comfort level.

Bringing in somebody to challenge now...and paying a premium for it...just seems to be throwing good money and assets after bad.

Agreed, and I think there should be less drama to feed the media hordes, not INFINITELY more drama.

Yeah, I agree there...wasn't trying to jump on it harshly.

I just think if they are truely looking for another goalie Nabby is probably the best one to get. His contract is up at the end of the year and his cap hit is very low. I dont know what it would take to get him but hopefully the Flyers are not even interested in getting another goalie when they have one tied up long term.

Nabokov is probably the best option if they're looking for a short term fix.

Yea, but he would cost a few chips. Well, there's always Rolo.

Paul Gaustad, David Steckel, Jarret Stoll or Steve Ott are exactly the player we could use tomorrow. If the Flyers can manage to trade for this type of player we could still find away to win a Cup. Manny Malhotra, Gregory Campbell, Brooks Laich, Bryan Boyle and Saku Koivu. These are the types of players we need right now to get far down the stretch.

I mentioned Adam hall earlier and he could do most of what steckel and gaustad do for much less outlay on our part.

The "In Memoriam" montage didn’t mention any hockey players. Must have been produced by ESPN.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but do you really feel that we are 1 role-player away from making a serious run? The defense and goaltending is nowhere near consistent enough to make a long run. Bryz has shown no signs of getting on a streak, which is almost required for a Cup run. On top of that, the offense still goes through slumps where they make mediocre goalies look like the 2nd coming of .

I'm not saying they can or can't get hot. I'm simply saying that 1 player is likely not going to change this team's destiny. If they want to make a run, the current core + goaltending need to step it up and bring their A game. No Ott or Gaustad is going to change that.

So what are the rumored goalies for the morning? Clearly something is coming in the morning... goalie? forward? big? small?

Opinions?
